Best Cupcake Recipes on the Internet: A blog about cupcake recipes and ingredients.

Introduction

I have a confession: I’ve never baked a cupcake before. And it’s not that I don’t like cake; I just find them so dang fussy. Until recently, the only real way to make your own cupcakes was by baking a full cake in muffin tins, which is messy and time-consuming. But then came the wonder that is boxed mix—a mystery powder that can turn any non-baker into an expert baker with just one simple add-water step.

So today we are going to explore some of these box mixes and see how easy (or difficult) they are to use, as well as what kind of delicious treats you can whip up using them!

Vanilla Cupcakes

Vanilla cupcakes are a classic, and for good reason. They can be flavored in many different ways, ranging from subtle to intense. For example, you can use vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste to flavor the cupcakes. You could also add a layer of frosting made with pureed fruit jam or roasted nuts and spices at the end of baking time; this will intensify any existing flavors while adding new ones as well.

The type of flour used will affect your cupcakes’ texture; cake flour produces more delicate cakes than all-purpose flour. If you’re looking for something even lighter than cake flour (which is already pretty light), try out cornstarch instead! You can also use other sugars like brown sugar or coconut palm sugar if you’d like a darker coloration in your finished product. And don’t forget about fat! Butter is delicious but shortening may produce superior results depending on what kind of texture you’re going for—a little bit goes a long way when adding fats like these into baked goods so use sparingly until you find exactly how much works best for each recipe individually!

Chocolate Cupcakes

Chocolate cupcake recipes are pretty easy to find, and you can make them with or without cake mix. A good chocolate cupcake recipe is one that has the perfect ratio of cake to frosting. This makes the cake soft and moist, while still having a nice crunch on top from the frosting. Many bakers will also add cocoa powder, which gives the chocolate flavor even more depth and richness than regular chocolate chips would give you. The best part about this recipe is that it takes only 30 minutes to make!

The ingredients are as follows:

  • 1 box of chocolate fudge instant pudding mix (not sugar-free)
  • 2 cups cold milk (1%)
  • 3 eggs
